On THE ROSENBERG REPORT: Special edition from Gaza – Join Rosenberg on his extraordinary visit inside a newly-discovered Hamas terror tunnel
Joel Rosenberg goes inside the very cages where Israeli hostages were being held captive in Khan Younis. What did he pray for?
The city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza has been the latest focus of the Israeli military’s operation against the Hamas terror organization. Intense fighting between IDF soldiers and Hamas terrorists is still underway and with every passing day, more terror infrastructure, ammunition and tunnels are being discovered and dismantled.
In this week’s dramatic one-hour special edition of THE ROSENBERG REPORT on TBN, ALL ISRAEL NEWS Editor-in-Chief Joel Rosenberg goes inside Gaza – to the battleground of Khan Younis – for the first time in his life.
“I never imagined going into Gaza as Joel Rosenberg, an Israeli Jewish believer in Jesus. If I went into Gaza, I never imagined I'd be coming out,” he said.
Rosenberg, who has visited various conflict zones in the past, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, described what he saw in Gaza as an “apocalyptic level of destruction.”
Hamas invited the destruction when it launched a war on Israel on Oct. 7, butchering and abducting people, raping and burning entire homes with families inside, resulting in at least 1,200 deaths and the kidnapping of at least 240 into Gaza as hostages.
What struck Rosenberg most upon exiting the armored vehicle that transported him there?
Rosenberg joined Brig.-Gen. Dan Goldfus, the commander of the IDF’s 98th Division, on a daring visit inside an underground terror compound in Khan Younis that served Hamas’ top leadership until not so long ago. The IDF believes that it was the lair of Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.
The tunnel is well-equipped with electricity and communication equipment, a bathroom, beds and even a kitchen with tiles – and with decorations designed to make Hamas commanders feel “at home” in their subterranean city of terror.
Some 25 meters (more than 80 feet ) underground, and about 75 miles long, the tunnel was also being used to keep at least 12 Israeli hostages captive. They were held inside cages.
“Some of them were taken in as trophies, just as trophies,” Goldfus told Rosenberg.
“In this ordinary neighborhood, there is a shaft in every place you can find. There’s a shaft in the kindergarten. There’s a shaft in the school. There’s a shaft in the mosques. There’s a shaft in the supermarket. Wherever you go through the shaft going down into the underground tunnels – an underground world of this inhumane entity of Hamas,” he continued.
“When you walk around here in Khan Younis, you ask yourself, ‘How can it be that nobody knows – or nobody knew – about these shafts?’ There's no way the people here in Khan Younis didn't know about the underground.”
While inside the tunnel, Rosenberg joined CBN’s Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell for a powerful prayer.
“I was so glad you wanted to take communion in the epicenter of evil,” Rosenberg told Mitchell.
What did they pray for?
Just a few miles away from the Israel-Gaza border, Rosenberg met with former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. They stood together on the ground of the Nova Music festival, where 364 Israelis were murdered and hundreds more injured.
As a devout Evangelical Christian, what was Pompeo’s message on his solidarity visit to Israel?
